NEET2012PhysicsThermal Properties of MatterActual
The surface temperature of the sun which has maximum energy emission at 500 nm is 6000 K . The temperature of a star which has maximum energy emission at 400 nm will be
Options
- A8500 K
- B4500 K
- C7500 K
- D6500 K
Correct answer
C. 7500 K
Step-by-step solution
By using Wien's displacement law, ( _m )₁ T₁= ( _m )₂ T₂ 500 6000=400 T₂ T₂= 500 6000 400 T₂=7500 ~K
